When I first stopped attending a building Sunday became just another day to do and accomplish. It began to be filled with more things and chaos. The sabbath was meant to be a day of rest NOT a busy day filled to the brim with more on my to do list.
I want to reclaim Sunday. This obviously does NOT mean I will NEVER accomplish anything or I will NEVER do laundry or dishes. Instead it means I want to be more intentional and present in my life… starting with Sunday.
This morning I woke meditated and then enjoyed my coffee break. But, I am still wondering how to reclaim Sunday. How do I refocus and rethink the way Sunday has been for the majority of my life? I want more. More focus, more intentionality, deeper connections, more meaning and love in my life.
What do you do on Sunday?
When was the last time you took time to rest and relax?
How intentional are you daily with your friends and family?
Do you want to join me in reclaiming Sunday?
Every Sunday I will be pressing this process out in words. I will work on being more intentional and less distracted with social media and the chaos in my mind. Today I am going to wrap up my writing and then I am going to completely disconnect from all the distraction to be present and more intentional with my family.
Yesterday I also began a 30 Day Meditation Challenge. The challenge is to meditate for 5 minutes a day twice a day for 30 days. This morning I did feel a bit distracted but it went pretty well. I will do it again this afternoon and hopefully wont be as distracted as yesterday afternoon went.
Any suggestion on this whole meditation thing?
Father God please help me to be present and intentional with my family today. GIve me strength and determination to not get distracted or sucked into the chaos of the world today. Help me to reclaim Sunday as a day of rest and reflection. I thank you and praise you for all you are doing in our lives. Amen.
